Back in the pre-digital sheet film & polaroid days, when I was helping run the studios of Gary Bernstein and then Ralph Chandler (in that order), most of the assistants came from either Brooks or the Art Center. The Brooks grads had the tech stuff nailed and the Arts Center grads had the creative edge. Brooks will always be synonomous with the highest end of higher photographic education. Tis a sad day to read this.

I attended The Art Institute of Houston for my degree in photography. A couple of my instructors were graduates of Brooks and their knowledge and passion for photography far exceeded the instructors that didn't attend Brooks. So sorry to see this is happening.
